Become the CEO of your career.
Self-Leadership starts with a conscious decision.
I support experienced female leaders from the corporate world in finding a new, aligned role or building their own (part-time) business. On their own terms – with clarity and confidence.
With over 15 years in business, at some point you have seen it all:
The 10th reorganization, the monthly business reviews, the next strategy that is sold as “new”.
At a certain point in your career, it becomes monotonous. Or exhausting.
And the feeling of wasting valuable time is growing bigger and bigger.
You know that something has to change.
You just don’t know yet which direction it will take.
Who I work with
I support experienced female leaders from the corporate world who find themselves at a professional turning point – where the old no longer feels right, and the new path isn’t clear yet.
Women, who...
- feel unclear about their strengths and what truly sets them apart
- start questioning their identity when their job title or role begins to shake
- feel unsettled by restructuring or have had their role eliminated
- are stuck in a role that no longer feels fulfilling or aligned
- don’t have a clear plan for how to start or grow their own (part-time) business

What my Clients say
Eva Wittka
Member of the Executive Board, Group COO in IT
Katja Pischel supported me during a situation where I was “in a stuck state” professionally. I was extremely frustrated and wavered between further attempts to change the situation or simply break new ground.
The coaching helped me to shift my focus from the problem to my abilities to solve it.
Defining your own brand in such a reflective and honest way makes a huge difference compared to simply building a story. What we worked on deeply resonated with me. We simply got to the heart of who I am – with words and visualization.
With the findings of the coaching process, I was able to finally conclude my current situation. Much more important, however, was that I was prepared to go into discussions about new challenges, both in terms of content but also mentally. I used the results of the work directly for my ‘self-pitch’. At the same time, I was able to reflect on the extent to which an offer really suited me. A short time later, several exciting options arose, from which I chose a new role that really suited me.
I can really only recommend working with Katja Pischel. Her ability to create a positive solution flow, then to get to the heart of things efficiently and make them directly implementable, was invaluable to me.

Former Head of Customer Engineering "Deutscher Mittelstand", Google Cloud
With Katja’s Personal Branding Program and sustainable coaching support, I was able to gain gradual and helpful clarity for the initially unfinished vision of my entrepreneurship: how and what for can I make my path meaningful and define important milestones?
I can highly recommend Katja in this self-development process as an encouraging companion!
Our cooperation is special, inspiring and enriching due to our shared values such as commitment, trust and mutual respect. And in particular, I appreciate that we can always work together at eye level in very different forms of cooperation!
Lisa Davidian
Director Enterprise Marketing EMEAR GN Audio Germany GmbH
Initially, I sought the services of a coach to help me take my career to the next level. I was facing a significant challenge in articulating and leveraging my personal brand effectively after being in the corporate world already over 30 years and feeling a bit stuck.
From our very first coaching session, it was evident that Katja possessed an unparalleled depth of knowledge and experience in the field of personal branding and executive development.
Katja has the uncanny ability to understand aspirations, strengths, and unique qualities, and was able to skillfully hone-in on the essence of my identity supporting me in crafting a compelling personal brand. (…).
Katja´s influence on my personal and professional growth cannot be overstated. I approach my career with newfound confidence, purpose, and strategic vision.
I wholeheartedly recommend Katja to anyone seeking to make a significant impact in their career, especially executive female leaders, who have so much still to give and are ready to elevate their career or business to new heights.
